Jack was now getting uncomfortable. Elsa hadn't said anything after he tried to have some fun earlier. He didn't know her well enough to know what to say and she did not seem to be willing to talk either. She was standing with her arms crossed over her chest, her head looking down at the ground. Something was bothering her and for some reason, she did not seem to be willing to let anyone in. He felt so useless here, unable to create fun for a girl who seemed to need it desperately.

Just as Jack was about to try asking her about it, a voice called out. "Elsa? It's me, Anna." Jack recognized it as the girl he had saved earlier. So that was her name. He saw Elsa's expression change, turning surprised and then looking concerned. "Anna? What is she doing here?" she asked to herself. Jack shrugged and walked over to her. "No clue, when I found her she was starting a snow ball fight with some guy by the mountain." he explained, leaving out his part in starting that little snow ball fight.

Elsa shook her head, amazed that Anna was still with Hans. "She came all this way with Hans? She truly is stubborn, I'll give her that much. I'm still not blessing their marriage." she commented, stepping out of her room. With nothing better to do, Jack followed her. "Anna?" Elsa called out, standing on the balcony outside of her room. Now that Jack was further in the palace, he was even more impressed. Everything sparkled and looked brilliant, designed entirely from ice.

"Imagine how much fun it would be to have one of these. Snow ball fights, ice skating, pretty much any game you could think of would be possible. I've got to learn how to do this." he said out loud this time, catching the attention of both sisters. "You can't do this?" Elsa asked, curious. Jack shrugged, not too concerned. He was convinced that it would only take some practice to be able to do this himself. "Not yet, at least. I've never even thought of making anything like this so I've never tried." he explained.

"Well, this place is amazing. And wait, you know each other? Well, you look…different. A good different! It's all just…" Anna was saying, rambling on as she talked. Elsa almost laughed at her sister. She had never been good with words, but she had a good heart. "Thank you. I never knew what I was capable of. Jack only got here a few moments before you, so don't feel too bad." Elsa said, trying to respond to all of Anna's comments.

"I'm sorry about what happened. If I'd known…" Anna continued, her mind jumping to a new topic. She still needed to tell Elsa about their parents, too. So much to talk about and it was taking too long! "No, no. It's okay. You don't have to apologize. But you should probably go, please." Elsa said, remembering what would happen if she lost control again. She could not hurt her sister, not a second time. Anna might want to help, but this was a battle that Elsa had to fight alone.

"But I just got here! Oh, and there is someone else…" she started, but Elsa interrupted. She did not want to hear Anna's pleas to stay, not when Elsa wanted to have her sister here so badly. If things had been different, if Elsa had been born normal, maybe she could have stayed close to her sister. That was not meant to be, however. "You belong in Arendelle." she said sternly, not backing down.

"Hey, both of you just relax. It seems like you guys are taking this way to seriously." Jack said, jumping down from the balcony and flying down to where the two sisters were now standing. "You don't understand, either. You might be like me but I can tell that you have not struggled your whole life. You never had to isolate yourself because of your fear." Elsa said, getting upset that even the one person she had met with magic didn't understand. He had been so close to the same, yet so different. She was jealous of his ability to control his powers completely. He didn't have to hide.

Jack was upset as well, thinking back to the years before the battle with Pitch. He had lived almost three hundred years, wandering the world alone and unseen. Everyone he met walked straight through him, unaware of his presence. It was the worst feeling ever, the sensation of being nothing but thin air to the world around you. "At least you had the choice. People believed in you." Jack said, frowning and flying off. He did not want to talk to these strangers about his problems. He would let them deal with this on their own.

Elsa did not quite understand his comment. He had seemed so happy and easy-going just a second ago. Yes, her parents had believed that she could control her powers even if she didn't. It made her wonder what people thought of Jack and his powers. "Well, that was awkward. Him, not you, sorry. Anyway, as I was trying to say before, if you would just stop interrupting me…" Anna was saying, but Elsa had heard enough.

"Anna, I belong here. Alone, where I can be who I am without hurting anybody." she said, turning around and walking towards her room. Jack had just flown in there, but it was her house. It was his problem if he decided to try to hide here, not hers. Suddenly, the door behind them opens and three people walk inside. "Fifty-eight…fifty-nine…sixty." Olaf was counting, but Elsa was more stunned by the people behind him.

Standing tall and proud were her parents, their hands clasped together and staring at their daughter. Elsa remembered them so well, the only people in the world who had known about her and what she could do. They had never once feared her and always did their best to encourage her. "Mom….Dad…is that really you?" she asked, the air in the room still as she stared at them.

Before they could answer, Olaf noticed Elsa and walked up to her, ignoring the situation around him. "Hi, I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs!" he said, getting her attention. She was still stunned, but she recognized that name. "Olaf?" she asked hesitantly, remembering playing with Anna. "You built me. Remember that?" he asked, but Elsa was realizing just what her powers had done. Anna didn't remember the magic, but Elsa did.

"And you're alive?" she asked, still not quite able to believe it. "Um…I think so? You know, you remind me of Mike. He was asking me a lot of questions too. I wonder where he went…" Olaf was saying, his mind already wandering away from the topic of their conversation. "Elsa, you've grown so much. I told you that everything would be fine while we were gone." Agnarr said, drawing her attention away from Olaf once more.

"I was trying to tell you, but you just wouldn't listen. I found them while I was looking for you!" Anna said cheerfully, but it was still too much for Elsa. She had accepted that her parents were here, that they were alive. That only meant that she had more people to hurt with her magic. She needed to be alone, where she could stay calm and if she lost control, the only person she could hurt would be herself. "Please, all of you just leave!" Elsa said, this time walking into her room and out of sight.

Anna was not giving up, not so easily. "Wait here, I'll go calm her down. Plus, we still kind of have to deal with the who eternal winter mess-up, but I'm sure she'll be fine with it once-" Iduna interrupted her, not wanting to waste too much time. "Anna, go. We understand." she said, touching her daughter's cheek. They would have more time to catch up later, after Elsa had calmed down.

Jack was upset that he was no longer alone. Both of the sisters from earlier were now barging into the room he had been sitting in. He had found a comfortable spot by the balcony, sitting on the railing and staring at the sky in the distance. His thoughts had been focused on his past, but now they were brought back to the present with the two girls in the room. He got up and walked over to them, hoping that they could at least stop arguing over pointless things now.

"Anna, please go back home. Your life awaits. Go enjoy the sun and open up the gates." Elsa pleaded, thinking that the prospect of freedom would appeal to her. Just like Elsa, Anna had longed to be free from the castle. Now that Elsa was gone, they both could have that freedom. "Come on, you guys still aren't over this?" Jack said, shaking his head. He hated conflict, it was never any fun. "How about we make this a little interesting? Let's have a sled race and the winner get's to decide if Anna stays or goes?" he suggested, trying to get rid of some of the tension.

Elsa shook her head at him, unable to believe his attitude. "Is life nothing but a game to you?" she asked, upset that he couldn't take anything seriously. Anna had thought it was a good idea, but she did not want to get in Elsa's way. Clearly, her sister was upset and she did not want to make it worse. "I'm the Guardian of Fun, also known as the spirit of winter, did you expect something else?" he asked, not seeing the problem. Jack was always like this and normally, people loved him. He might pull a few pranks that annoyed others, but he hadn't done anything to this girl yet.

"You know what, it doesn't matter. Anna, I know you are worried about me but things are better this way. I might be alone, but at least I am free. As long as you stay away, you'll be safe." Elsa said, returning to her argument with Anna. Anna realized that maybe Elsa didn't realize what she had done. "Well, not exactly. When you left, and I am certain this was just a small mistake, you kind of set of an eternal winter…everywhere." she said, hesitantly.

Elsa froze, unable to quite believe what she had heard. She had never planned on doing anything like this. She only wanted to get away, to leave that place behind. How had it gone so wrong? "What?" she said, feeling her emotions get out of control. "Oh, it's okay. You can just unfreeze it." Anna said, but Jack was still thinking about what she had said. This winter, in the middle of summer, had been caused by the blonde girl in front of him. All of this ice and snow, they were all created by her. Their magic was the same and he wanted to know how. He didn't understand what had given her these powers, what her limits were, and if he could do the same things as her. He knew where to get answers, though. Those stupid trolls, the ones who claimed he was cursed, seemed to know a lot about magic.

"No, I can't. I…I don't know how!" Elsa screamed, panicking. Snow was beginning to fall inside the palace, this time created by her unstable emotions. Jack decided to step forward and intervene, thinking he might be able to calm her down this time. "Hey, it's alright. I'll help you." he said, but she wasn't paying attention. "Elsa, listen to Jack! I know you can do this!" Anna insisted.

"I'm such a fool! I can't be free!" Elsa was saying, desperately trying to reign in her powers. She could feel them getting out of control, but she was too afraid. Her family was here and as long as they were, her fear had reign over her powers. That was when Jack noticed something, or more accurately, someone. Standing on the balcony, was Pitch Black.
